McDonald's Employee Tips for Surviving Low Pay Are Hilarious (Video)

A website that offers personal wellness tips for McDonald's employees has come under fire for urging fast-food workers to lower stress by "taking at least two vacations a year," which some say is impossible to do on such low wages.

For example, the budget worksheet assumes that a worker has two full-time jobs.

"Once the employee is working 75 to 80 hours a week, it’s a relatively simple matter of budgeting," The Daily Beast's Daniel Gross writes. "Some of the lines sound reasonable: $600 a month for rent, $100 a month for car and home insurance, $100 a month for cable and phone. But some of the suggestions are banoodles. Presumably these employees must all live in Hawaii, because the suggested monthly cost of heating is... zero. The line for health care is $20 a month, which is enough to pay for a bottle of aspirin — and a couple of days of health-insurance coverage each month."
